His story: Samuel (Sam) Draper, 28, grew up in Frederick. He is a lawyer. His mother, Laurie Draper, is a nurse and his father, James Draper, is an accountant.

Their story: Allison and Sam met through mutual friends and began dating in June 2011.

"One of my best friends was dating his best friend," says Allison. "We went out to dinner, had drinks and played shuffleboard. And then we started seeing each other."

The proposal: Sam proposed on Aug. 31, 2011 at an Orioles game at Camden Yards. The couple was standing in line to get caricatures when Allison left to get food. While she was gone, Sam handed a note to the artist to let him know he was planning to propose.

When Allison returned, the artist began drawing the caricatures and turned it around for her to see it after he finished.
